Meet the 15 teams to make the first cut at the 2023 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship

Stanford is in pole position with 18 holes of stroke play left.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After 54 holes of stroke play, the field of 30 teams at the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship is now 15 after Sunday evening’s cut.

Stanford, the defending national champion, took the lead on the hardest scoring day yet at Grayhawk Golf Club. Wake Forest, which led after the first two days, is tied for second with Texas. USC and Florida State are the only other teams under par.

USC’s Catherine Park, fresh off her NCAA record-tying round Saturday, leads the individual competition by four shots with 18 to play. There’s a three way for second that includes Rose Zhang, the defending NCAA individual champ.

Come Monday, the top eight teams after the final round of stroke play will make match play, which begins Tuesday morning.

NCAA Women’s Golf Championship: Stanford sets NCAA record, USC’s Catherine Park ties another and more from Saturday’s second round

Here’s what you need to know from the second round of the Women’s NCAA Championship.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It was a birdie barrage Saturday morning at Grayhawk Golf Club. And teams who weren’t making any were left behind.

The second round of the 2023 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship teed off Saturday to clear skies, virtually no wind and perfect scoring conditions. And teams like Stanford, South Carolina and Texas took advantage. The morning scoring average was 72.39, more than two shots lower than Friday.

In the afternoon? The course played tough. Only one team (Clemson) finished under par in the afternoon wave.

However, the round Stanford put together set an NCAA record for lowest round in championship history. Not bad for the top-seeded team and defending NCAA champions.

Yet it’s not the Cardinal in front with 36 holes to go, it’s the second-seeded team (and No. 1 team in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings).

Ole Miss wins NCAA Championship, first women’s national title in school history

It’s the first women’s national championship for Ole Miss as the Rebels beat Oklahoma State in golf.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Chiara Tamburlini earned her first point of the week for Ole Miss on Wednesday in the final of the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship against Oklahoma State.

It opened the floodgates to a national championship, the first women’s title in school history.

Tamburlini’s 6 and 5 win was the largest margin of victory in the women’s final.

A few minutes later, fifth-year senior Kennedy Swann earned the Rebels their second point with a 2 and 1 win over Maja Stark. Swann’s win pushed her career match-play mark to 10-2.

Then it was Ole Miss sophomore Andrea Lignell, who played 40 holes over the quarterfinals and semifinals on Tuesday, draining a five-footer on the 17th hole to clinch the win.

Oklahoma State, which knocked out defending national champion Duke with a 5-0 showing in the semifinals on Tuesday, was also attempting to win the first women’s title in school history.
